    Seeking Advice - Horizon 16" Classic v. Big Green Egg

    I'm not sure why you guys knock the BGE or any other ceramic grill so much.  I have had several smokers over the years in a few shapes & sizes.  I purchased a BGE a few months back and I have since got rid of all of my other charcoal grills & smokers.  The only thing I have left is my Weber gas...

    adding smoke

    What kind of smoker?  Are you putting the chunks directly in the fire?  It depends on what I'm cooking to where and when I add them.  If it's a long smoke I bury a few chunks throughout the charcoal and put a chunk or 2 on top after the coals are good & hot, then usually toss a handful of chips...

    BGE or Vision Grills Kamado???

    I came close to buying the Vision...   After eating food from my BGE I think some of my buddies are going to buy a Vision because of the price point.  From everything I have read they are great with a solid warranty.   Here's tonight's dinner!  Nice sear on the outside, medium rare on the inside!!

    BGE or Vision Grills Kamado???

    I ended up picking up the BGE during a father's day sale for $765.  I've used it almost every day since and it's been awesome.   A few of the things I made on it: Baked Indirect on Pizza Stone at just over 600 degrees Seared at 800 degrees Indirect Spatchcock Chickens Low & Slow

    BGE or Vision Grills Kamado???

    Local BGE Dealer has a 10% off sale running for Father's Day.  I picked up the grill last night, but the spar varnish on my table wasn't quite dry yet so it's still in the box.  If nothing changes I'm going to get it in my table this evening.  Here's a couple pics of the table I built for it...

    BGE or Vision Grills Kamado???

    Thanks JimmyJ!!  Pretty much all of my family lives a couple hours away, some east, some west, so I usually don't get more than 10 people at a time ever.  I'm leaning hard now toward a Big Green Egg now...
